0496. The Shamen En-Tact

Going from indie pop to rave techno is a move few groups have survived, but
for The Shamen it proved to be a success. Getting hooked on house (probably
due to drugs - so remember: just say no, kids) they started a metamorphosis
which led them, three albums later, to release En-Tact (their fourth in some
three years).

As I only had the US release at my disposal, it's a different ballgame than
the original release. Stuff that differs are among others that almost every
track is a different mix (some by fellow technoheads Orbital),
their hit single Move Any Mountain, which wasn't on the original release,
has been shoved into the first track slot (and also appears in remixes later
on on the album).

But then again, if it wasn't for Move Any Mountain, this album would probably
not have made the list at all [fact check: yep, the book focuses heavily on
that hit too, even though it lists the original album release].
On the other hand, it was when filming the video for the song that bass
player Will Sinnott accidentally drowned. So, well, yeah…
Not worth it, I'd say.
